O'Reilly plans to ask Rand about the following 2 issues during tomorrow's (7/30) interview

[WD-NY]

During tonight's show, O'Reilly said that he will ask Rand about:


What Rand thinks about Bradley Manning
___can't remember the other question, but it was a tricky issue__

This was definitely nice (re: out-of-character) of O'Reilly to let Rand know ahead of time what he intends to ask him. Team Rand has no excuses for not hitting both questions out of the park tomorrow night.

yeah, O'Reilly had Brit Hume on tonight to talk about Rand Paul and the foreign policy rift in the Republican Party. O'Reilly said he was trying to get Rand on for tomorrow's show but it still might not happen.

.. when has rand looked for excuses

I hope that people don't get angry at Rand if Rand doesn't defend Bradley Manning. Those are the kind of toxic political issues that Rand might have to stay away from.

People will. LewRockwell.com will.

Me? I'm kind of expecting him to dodge the question, with possibly a scintilla of support like he gave Snowden. If he does that, I can live with it.

If he calls him a traitor, I'd knock him down to Mike Lee status... on thin ice...

I don't expect unqualified support, but at the very least he'd better give a vague answer, rather than outright selling out.

Which is why O'Reilly wants to talk about him. Bradley Manning is an interesting case. He voluntarily subjected himself to the black and white parameters of the UCMJ when he enlisted, however, the Obama Administration did create the narrative that they would protect whistleblowers that would come forth.

Definitely, but Team Rand know at least 2 issues O'Reilly is going to challenge him on so there's no excuse not to hit at least 2 of the questions out of the park. ;)

p.s. - has anyone been able to locate the 2nd issue O'Reilly wants to ask Rand about?? I can't find any youtubes of the segments not on O'Reilly's website.
